Thanks for the warnings about cutting. I'll have to take a very careful approach.

I cut a couple of them they do split on their own .You might ought to try to cut some of those branches off first .That way you remove some of the weight prying on the trunk ,and the splitting won't be as bad.

Pappy: thanks again about warning me of the danger of cutting a lightning-strike tree. We had a lot of rain and wind yesterday and I checked the trunk this evening. You are absolutely right. It is split in about 6 locations which look to be great for staves
after
I get it on the ground.
I am thinking about wrapping a chain and some heavy ratchet straps around the trunk before I cut it. Hopefully to hold it together just enough to cut or maybe give me enough time to get out of the way.

Now I'm going to be running off the road eyeballing for lightning struck trees to make a medicine bow
